<p>As outlined in my written statement to the House on 19 May 2022 (HCWS42), the cautious
parameters set by the Safety Panel within which the Ajax user validation trials are
to be conducted included the temporary use of Crewgard <ins class="ministerial">Mk2</ins>
headsets to allow the modifications proposed by General Dynamics to be trialled. The
longer-term solution is being taken forward through the Armoured Fighting Vehicle
<ins class="ministerial">(AFV)</ins> headset project, through which the first headsets
are being procured and expected to enter service later this year. <ins class="ministerial">In
the meantime, an Urgent Capability Requirement is being progressed for new headsets
to support the in-service AFV fleets.</ins></p><p> </p>
